Packing is over and the deconstruction of the current home has begun.
Between the last posting and this one, we packed everything in the entire house and crammed it into the attic until that was full, then put the rest in the garage. Plenty of room after we donated everything we haven't used in the past year.
Meanwhile, we've made choices, gotten estimates, and negotiated better prices (Ray says: "This woman wins in price negotiations; she's dangerous." Alese responds: "Just tell them what you want."). We've ordered carpeting, flooring, and counters, and bought most every doorknob, faucet, and handle that Home Depot and Lowe's had in stock.
We had the trees trimmed to allow the house to been seen from the road, and, to show their support, those nice county road folks decided to resurface our road amid the excitement and multiple trucks out front.

Ray says: "It wouldn't have happened without Alese's hard work." My response: "I love to organize a big project, and we'll never get down to Mustang Island until we've made this house gorgeous and sold it."Now we've retired to the master bedroom and bath, where the daily essentials were all waiting for us, and we're going about living our lives in a tiny space till the remodeling is done.
